Abstract: Flame-proofed thermoplastic compositions include organophosphorus compounds as flame retardants; thermoplastic articles shaped therefrom do not experience deterioration of the appearance of the surfaces thereof by corrosion or deposition.

Abstract: Fire-retardant polyamide cast items including an intumescent coating are described. The case items can have excellent fire-retardant properties and can include at least one fire-retardant system in the polyamide matrix. The items can also have an intumescent coating on at least one surface.

Abstract: Flame-proofed thermoplastic compositions include organophosphorus compounds as flame retardants; thermoplastic articles shaped therefrom do not experience deterioration of the appearance of the surfaces thereof by corrosion or deposition.

Abstract: Flame-retardant polyamide compositions that can be converted into molded shaped articles contain melamine cyanate and a novolac resin; such molded shaped articles are particularly useful in the field of electric or electronic connector technology, e.g., as circuit-breakers, switches or connectors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flame-retardant system for polymers and to polymer-based flame-retarded compositions. It relates more particularly to a flame-retardant system comprising phosphorus-comprising compounds as flame-retardant agent. The invention provides a flame-retardant system, in particular for polymers and polymer-based compositions. This flame-retardant system comprises, as flame-retardant agent, at least one compound belonging to the family of the esters and salts of phosphoric, phosphinic and phosphonic acids and at least one other compound which stabilizes the flame-retardant agent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fireproof thermoplastic composition comprising a specific fireproofing system which is based on a phosphinic acid salt and melamine derivatives. The inventive composition is useful, in particular for producing articles used for electric or electronic connections.
